The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Plot hole: The Fantastic Four fly into space in their Fantasticar, and they are not wearing spacesuits or helmets. Even more baffling is after they enter Galactus' ship, they put spacesuits and helmets on, so they can prepare for "spacewalking." They may have super powers, but they still need to breathe oxygen to live, so being in the vacuum of space without any proper suits should have killed them. The Fantasticar later in the episode shows that each seat has the capability of being sealed with an airtight bubble covering, but they didn't show those being used when they were flying in space.

Answer: As the other answer indicated, it is a common filming technique used to achieve various visual effects. Handheld cameras can create a deliberate sense of movement that follows a movie's action. A cameraperson can physically move in much closer to an actor, creating a more intimate connection between the character and the audience. It can also reflect a character's movement from their vantage point, and can be used to create a greater sense of realism with an edgier, less-rehearsed, or a documentary-style feel.
